#SmallGodsSunday I just started reading #TerryPratchett and I see have some catching up to do (forty-one Discworld novels!)

“‘Rincewind, all the shops have been smashed open. There was a whole bunch of people across the street helping themselves to musical instruments, can you believe that?’
‘Yeah,’ said Rincewind, picking up a knife and testing its blade thoughtfully. ‘Luters, I expect.’”
The mental picture of looters looting lutes has given me the giggles.
Sometimes the layers of silliness of Discworld stories add up to some quite hilarious paragraphs. 😁
Finally on holiday and treating myself to this little gem: OverLondon by @georgepenney and Tony Johnson (no masto that I know of?). About a quarter in now and absolutely loving it.
A great bit of world building, just enough sprinkles of fantasy to make it interesting (but not too much for me thank you), an unexpected whodunnit setup, loads of humor and wonderful characters. Beaming this to all #TerryPratchett fans out there: it will hit that spot. Jolly good read!

When I started reading the Discworld series earlier this year, I didn't anticipate a months-long wait for the second book to become available at the library. "The Light Fantastic" finally came in this week, and the next book is already in transit, so I'm back on track!

Another Discworld book finished, number 21, over half way now. I loved Jingo, because it highlights the readiness people have to judge and "hate" each other if they're slightly different and because they're told to. Something that is, sadly, still too prevalent as when Sir Terry wrote it in 1997.
Might take a break from Discworld for a bit and try Brandon Sanderson's Storm light Archive.

Anyone else sometimes pick Discworld book rereads/relistens to match their mood? 😅
"Justice needs a hand" mood = The Watch books
"Corporate greed needs smashing" mood = Going Postal / MM
"People need to be nicer to each other" mood = The Witches books
"Need a bit o' the ol' whimsy" mood = The Last Continent / Masquerade
etc...

Endelig i mål med denne.. Planen var egentlig å pløye gjennom en bok i uka nå mens vi var i Sveits, men det ble en drøy halvannen uke på én pga, vel, andre folk. (Heihei, svigers) #norsktut #boktut #allheimen #bokheimen #norskpix #discworld #terrypratchett
